'lO ALL WHOM IT MAY COICERN:

Be it known that I, CHARLES J. HA'YUCLOI 26 Stagg street, Williamsburg, in the county of Kings, and in the State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Flower-Stands; and I do hereby declare that the followingr is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willenable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being hadto the 'accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which drawingi Figure 1 represents a vertical section ot' this invention.

Figure 2 is a plan or top view of the same. i

Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a ower-stand composed of a series of sections, each of which is composed of a supporting-platform and of a guide-ring. The platform is made of a wire ring provided with a suitable centrepiece, and fastened between uprights, the upper ends of which form the supports for the guide-rings, the' centrepiece and uprights being east andsecured to the rings by solder in such amanner that a simple, cheap, durable, and highly-ornamental denver-standl is obtained, particularly it for diminutive pots containing exotic plants.

l A represents a flower-stand, which 1s composed of a series of sections, which are connected together so asv to produce any desirable form or shape. Each section is composed of a platform, a, which consists of a ring, 6, with a suitableeentre-piece, the ring being made of iron or other wire, and secured tothe centre-piece by solder or in any other suitable manner. "Io the outer peripheryof the ring b are secured two standards c, to the upper ends of which is connected the 'guide-ring' d. The centre-piece of the platform and the standards c are cast of tin or any other suitable metal or alloy, While the guide-ring d is made of iron or other wire. The object of this guide-ring is to steady the dowerpots,and retain them firmly in position. In fitting up a flower-stand, al

number of these sections are connected together, and either secured to a bracket, B, as shown in the drawing, or provided with legs, or arranged to be suspended from a cord or cords, according to taste and convenience.

What I claim as'neiv, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is- 4 A HOWer-stand, composed of one or more sections, each made of a platform, a, with a ring, and one or Witnesses:
